Hi
I've configured DRBD with a view to use it with MySQL (and later on Pacemaker +
Corosync) in a 2 nodes primary/secondary
(master/slave) setup.
Once both nodes have been configured and everything has been synch'ed. I can
umount /var/lib/mysql on the primary then
move the primary to secondary, bring up the secondary as primary, mount
/var/lib/mysql and it all looks good.
I've repeated the operation a number of times, writing files and checking they
appear on the secondary after i swap
the nodes around.
Please note that MySQL is not running and therefore unless I manually
create/update a file in /var/lib/mysql there's
really nothing happening.
I'm trying to figure out why there's a difference in the disk throughput
between DRBD and non-DRBD when only the primary
node is up and running.
Scientific Linux is installed on /dev/sda (all Ext4) and DRBD is on /dev/sdb
(Ext4 too).
In /var/lib/mysql (/dev/drbd0 on /dev/sdb)
[root@server1 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/mysql/disk-test.xxx bs=1M
count=4096 oflag=direct
4096+0 records in
4096+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 20.9517 s, 205 MB/s
In /home/userxxx (/dev/sda)
[root@server1 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/userxxx/disk-test.xxx bs=1M
count=4096 oflag=direct
4096+0 records in
4096+0 records out
4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 10.2525 s, 419 MB/s
No replication over the 1Gb/s crossover cable is taking place since the
secondary node is down yet there's x2 lower
disk performance.
I've tried to add:
disk {
disk-barrier no;
disk-flushes no;
md-flushes no;
}
to the config but it didn't seem to change anything.
Am I missing something here?
On another note is 8.4.1 the right version to use?

Filesystem on DRBD:
===================
Added this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/drbd0 /var/lib/mysql ext4
rw,suid,dev,exec,noauto,nouser,async 0 0
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/drbd0
# echo "DRBD Device" >/var/lib/mysql/samplefile.txt
Thx for any help.
